Yankees Showing Age Up the Middle

Posted in Baseball, Derek Jeter, MLB, Yankee History, Yankees on July 2, 2014 | 3 Comments »

When the home plate umpire yells play ball this afternoon at Yankee Stadium, history will be made in the Bronx.

Beltran Blast Brings Bombers Back from Brink, Joins Legacy of Two-Out Heroes in Yankee History

Posted in Arod, Baseball, Don Mattingly, MLB, Yankee History, Yankees on June 21, 2014 | 5 Comments »

Carlos Beltran is officially a Yankee. An extraordinarily clutch hit has become a rite of passage for newcomers to the Bronx, and, with last night’s walk off home run against Baltimore, Beltran finally earned his pinstripes…in a big way. Not only did the struggling switch hitter rescue the Yankees from a frustrating loss, but he […]

Sigh for Relief: Was Yankees Selection of Lindgren an Overdraft?

Posted in Baseball, Draft, MLB, Yankee History, Yankees on June 6, 2014 | Leave a Comment »

Your browser does not support iframes. Who is Jacob Lindgren?

Not only did the Twins’ right hander shut down his former team, but he did so at Yankee Stadium, which had become a house of horrors for Hughes over the past few seasons. Phil Hughes Road/Home Splits, […]

Posted in Baseball, Baseball History, MLB, Red Sox, Yankee History, Yankee Stadium, Yankees on May 28, 2014 | 1 Comment »

Defending a World Series title isn’t always easy. The 2014 Boston Red Sox can attest. Last year’s World Series victors just completed a 10-game skid, becoming only the fifth defending champion to post a double-digit losing streak. Can they recover in their title defense? The track record of teams with such a long stretch of […]

Chase Whitley vs. Jacob deGrom? Maybe, in Durham, North Carolina for the 2014 Triple-A All Star Game, but certainly not New York City during the Subway Series. Guess again. Thanks to their early season success and a spate of injuries suffered by the Yankees and Mets, the two young right handers were diverted from Tobacco […]

Ellsbury Returns to Fenway, but Nation Less than Welcoming

Posted in Baseball, Baseball History, MLB, Red Sox, Robinson Cano, Yankee History, Yankees on April 23, 2014 | Leave a Comment »

Jacoby Ellsbury’s return to Fenway Park wasn’t exactly a hero’s reception. Although the Red Sox properly honored their former centerfielder with a video montage before the game, the fans weren’t as generous. Most favored status in Red Sox Nation can be fleeting, especially when you return in the road grays of New York, but the […]
